Old and mighty ugly as well. When that unit was built solar panels were stuff of science fiction. Excuse my tractor ignorance, is it a Deutz? Nice rake.

Yep that's a Deutz, We owned the tractor for a while well past it's prime. The starter is 24volt so had some fancy switch deal for starting and charging. Didn't work very well. The tractor is air cooled and seemed to run on fumes. We sold it to a fellow up the road and when he sold out another neighbor bought it. Last summer I needed a spare tractor for raking so rented it as the man wasn't using it.
It would start quite a few times on a good charge but the generator wasn't working so I figured I would try a solar panel. It didn't seem to work as the batteries were connected in series and the panel was just 12 volts. Also the hay field isn't the handiest place to experiment.

Thanks for all the votes. :D

That tractor could only be considered Sexy when running smoothly ahead of those big thunder clouds. :) The rest of the time ugly. No judgement on the folks running it. :?

:D When our oldest daughter was little she liked riding along with me. It has square fenders inside where she sat and she figured if she was ever Homecoming Queen she could ride it in the parade and wave out the window. :D :D
